Icon1 How/Are Prize Rules/Cruiser Rules implemented in TWOS?

Hi all new player here.


I just installed The wolves of steel and started the campaign from the beginning having a great time and I received the following message on the radio. My question is, is this just a 'flavour' message or does the mod enforce these restrictions? I'm also not sure whether these rules apply to Polish ships because I thought my first mission was to sink them.


"Uboat warfare against shipping is at present to be carried out in accordance with international rules...


Attacks are to be aimed at ships ... which are... 1. troopships ... 2. vessels escorted by the enemy ... 3. vessels taking part in enemy actions or acting in direct support of the enemy ..."


Thanks all

Hi, which version of TWoS? Neutral and prohibited shipping was expanded in 2.2.23 if I recall.

If you have latest version, then general rules are:

- Ships of neutral nations are not to be attacked, unless they act hostile towards you or sail without navigation lights at night. In latest versions of TWoS, you will see neutral nation's merchant ships carrying contraband to Allies, these sail without nav lights on and often in Allied controlled territory (or even under Allied escort). Despite neutral flag, these are treated by game as enemies.

- Ships of hostile nations are fair game except for hospital ships.

Now, radio messages (based on real orders from WW2) reflect complicated and often changing rules BdU impressed upon captains in early period of the war. These texts are just flavour but you're free to use them to roleplay.
